I would add, kick it backwards with your heel on tougher stuff so you don't hurt your toes. It's difficult to kick as hard in that direction unfortunately, but your shoe being stiffer helps shear it off. He also stepped way out on the ends of the plant. Most of the weeds I do will tear in in the middle doing that, so I step on it much closer to the root/base. I think it helps it tear too as there isn't as much loose material between.

Another egg cooking “hack” that I’ve been using recently is to only put an inch of water in a pan with a lid. Bring the water to the boil and gently add the eggs after first pricking the blunt end and making a tiny hole (stops the egg from cracking). Replace the lid and set a timer for 5:30 (if you want soft boiled eggs) return the water to a fast boil. I put the eggs in cold water for a min to cool them so they’re ready to eat and it stop the yokes setting hard. I like this method because the water takes far less time to heat up initially, it wastes a lot less energy and because you’re in effect mostly cooking with steam it’s less variable. I’ve yet to try using a steamer but expect that would work also.

Here's one : Paint your peg board white (preferably on both sides). It will resist water damage and reflect light.

After you get your weeds out of the way you can go back with one of those 2 gallon sprayers filled with vinegar you can get from Amazon I can’t remember the percentage but it’s not the 5% from the grocery store, spray the roots of the weeds with that and a little bit of I should say a tiny bit of Dawn dish soap and then sprinkle salt on top. Whatever you do don’t put the salt in with the vinegar because it clogged my sprayer

Seriously never thought of running the filters in parallel. Definitely going to try it.

I’ve had chickens and also buy eggs at the store. So I’ve had real fresh eggs and not so fresh eggs. The best way to have hard-boiled eggs that peel easily is to steam them. You put your eggs in your steamer for about 20 minutes then take them out and put them in your cold water until you can easily handle the eggs. The shells will slide off. You’re welcome!-- Susan

These really are great hacks. There's actually surprisingly little content out there for us country boys, on the big farm/homesteads. But on your final remark, I'm surprised you wear shorts.

I mean you look down and there's a wasp on your jeans or you see that you just walked through poison ivy, or you need to blaze your way through some blackberry, it just saves your ass a lot.

1: An egg peeling hack that I saw that works well is to take the egg and put it in a glass tumbler, put your hand over the end, and shake it vigorously. It either cracks the shell all over, or sometimes removes it completely. I can't tell for sure if a little water in the glass helps or not. 2: I keep store-bought celery and heads of lettuce crisp by wrapping them in damp paper towels and putting them back in the bag. I've had lettuce last literally months, as long as the paper towel prevents it from coming into contact with the plastic (it rots if it does.)

I’ve been using the egg-in-jar technique. Really speeds peeling!

All I ever do with eggs is I put them in cold water, start boiling - 12 minutes from start to have them perfect, 14 if I want them hard boiled. Then I empty the boiling water, fill up with cold water, and peel it under a running faucet. You just have to make sure to get under the membrane. That's my "trick". Thanks for a fun video!

I used to do it that way too, until I started raising my own chickens. I'm betting you are getting your eggs from the store? I had poor results with that method on my fresh eggs. Glad you enjoyed the video!

I peel eggs under running water, which gets between the shell and membrane and separates them. You can also rehydrate peffy cucumbers. Some kitchen faucets are californicated and restricted in a way that can't be hacked. Most new faucets have 1.8 GPM flow, you can still find excellent quality uncalifornicated Chinese faucets on Amazon that still have 2.4 GPM flow.

Here in Hawai'i we use a tool called an "o'o" (sounds like "oh oh", I think you guys call it a "Conner Bar"). In my opinion, this is almost the only tool you need for regular gardening.

It's very heavy, so you'll build muscles or have to get one that "fits" you.

Very useful tips, thank you for helping us save time and money! On the weed kicker, you can also just step on the weed in one direction until it bends and then lay it down in the other direction (180 degrees) and step or stomp on it again until it breaks. (So much easier on your feet!)

That celery trick is awesome!

WEEDS: Many of the weeds you kicked off will just come back again, and while they are growing up the roots are still actively growing deeper. Just go back and bring a garden fork with you to pry them out at the first. EGGS: Seriously? Your eggs are at least 1.5 to 2 weeks old (whether if unwashed and sitting on the counter) or several months old if purchased from your grocers (which were shipped from a warehouse for purchase locally) to have such a large airspace! Fresh eggs when candled will reveal they rarely have an airspace larger that the circumference of a cat's-eye sized marble. These are the eggs that are hard to peel. Other than these; I found your video really helpful!

Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.

I just watched your fuel filter scenario where you added a second, and this now makes perfect sense and I'll likely do the same to my home because I only have a single sediment filter and nothing else.

Great life hack vids, thanks. I spent $70 for a Big Blue 4.5x20" housing and change it about every 9 months. That's cheaper than your 4x $30 2.5x10" housings. And filters were $122.10 Azon for a ten pack. I'm a super frugal guy, but I know to spend a little more now to save a lot later, and this does. (It appears that the 2.5x10 filters have come way down in price since I installed my Big Blue in '22, but I still like the lower maintenance of the larger filter.) Oh, for weeds, I carry around my EDC Wakizashi. ;)

I hard boil eggs for my wife and I use the shock method but I use a tea spoon of salt, (I was told that salt helped) but tomorrow I will change that to vinegar. I use lots of vinegar to clean coffee machine and faucets. I will be breaking out the drill for the faucet in the kitchen too.

Old lady here. I do glitter and sawdust. Just letting you know you can do both. If you want. Thanks for the tips, tho. Handy stuff, this.

That was a kick to watch. Especially at the end.😁

Gotta say I've always liked this channel. This video is a continuation of good content

the way to peel eggs according to a Ainsley Harriett a famous TV chef which I alway use is after hard boiling is to tap both ends to crack the shell, next lay the egg on its side and roll it under your palm with a little pressure to crack the whole shell , then the shell comes off in one large piece most of the time.

I'm really glad you're releasing videos again!

A teaspoon is the perfect tool to remove the egg shell. Tap the egg shell with the teaspoon to start a few cracks in the shell, take a little of the shell off of the egg's blunt end, slip the teaspoon under the remaining shell and rotate the egg.

That burdock is one of the best medicine there is.

love your videos. as for the celery hack. I simply use a ziplock bag with a very wet paper towel around the base of the celery and store it in the fridge that way. it also works amazingly for lettuce and prolongs the shelf life drastically.

The boiled egg method is the same I’ve used for the longest and it’s hands down the correct method

When peeling fresh boiled eggs before I let them sit in cold water after throwing out the hotwater I give the pan a shake to crack all the eggs shells and then let them sit in the cold water for five minutes. After five minutes or so you take out the eggs and the water got in between the shell and the membrane and between the membrane and the eggs and you’ll simply pull of the shell etc.

Very informative, thank you!

So many awesome ideas!

Nonneed for vinegar which affects the taste. Just like shocking egg into boiling water, it's more important to shock it from boiling into an ice bath. This works every time.

I had a problem with peeling boiled eggs and eggs cracking when boiling them. But then I stopped boiling them. I steam them using a steamer basket. Put it in a pot, fill with water until it's about a quarter inch below the basket. Put your eggs in without them touching, I can put 6 in my basket. Put a lid on the pot then turn on the burner. You have to figure out how long it takes to boil eggs but for me, at sea level with my old range it takes 17 minutes to cook AA large and 15 minutes for large. You don't have to cold shock them just put them in a bowl of cold water. I grew up raising chickens and mom boiled eggs your way but still we had occasional problems with boiling them. Now we don't, they peel easily and I only get a cracker if the shell had been crack before boiling.

LOL, shit. So at least two of these were a "today I learned" moment. The celery one slayed me.

I did not know about #2. Thanks!

The 1st filter does one job, and feeds that filtered water to the second filter (a charcoal filter). By having two sets, he experiences less-frequent changes of those 1st filters, as he has, in essence, split his unfiltered water into two lines, each with the 1st filter taking the brunt of the filtering. He says that he believes by having two 1st filters, they last more than twice as long as when he only had one filter.

Shocking eggs does work. I only do the ice bath immediately after boiling, for maybe one minute. Crack and peel straight away. No problems. We get both farm fresh and store bought eggs and this works well for us. Good luck!
